Hey folks,Just submitted a set of changes to Gnar's boomerang logic on the PBE that are intended to up its reliability and reduce the crazy "right-angling" that happens at times with it.

General idea is that it can no longer swing out as far when its turning point is closer to Gnar. Additionally have slightly slowed its starting speed and upped the acceleration. Should give more time to catch it at close ranges while still making it get to its end point when needed.

PLEASE TEST THIS OUT AND GIVE ME FEEDBACK! What situations are you still running into where you feel you should be able to catch it but it does something to prevent you from doing so?

The Q changes are just QOL changes which will make him more smoother to play, and the W changes will help him in the jungle. I actually have had some good games with him in the jungle, maybe a bit hard before you get spirit stone though (before first back).

Regarding the R change I think it is justifed to TRY a higher ratio as 0.2 is nothing at all, Gnar SHOULD be scary while transformed, it is a beast after all. :)

It just interests me that say, Quinn and Sejuani didn't get this treatment after their release. For the most part, they just left them and didn't care. Heck, they STILL haven't done much to Quinn. And Sejuani won't be relevant for a long time ever since they knee jerked nerfed her after the remake.

Now Riot just wants to make every new champion super good.

It's not that Gnar doesn't need buffs (because sure, why not?) but just Riot's incredible inconsistency. Even the recently released Vel'Koz could use a little push in the mid lane. And then there's champions like Karma or Cho' who could use small tweaks or QoL (who isn't aren't bad champions at all, just sought of wavering on the "kinda niche" category). Where is that?

Yeah they said he would be released next year. i think they wanted some feedback and to share some of what they had in store , then people got over hyped, cried broken promises, riot didnt like where he was going so they went back to the drawing board...

Then people forgot about him.

Still, pretty sure they said not until next year. will prob be alot different to what we saw.

thats a bit harsh. they shoot themselves in the foot everytime they try communicating with the community. the slightest ideas become broken promises. still expecting him to be introduced and have some affiliation with yasuo

Ao Shin isn't coming for a LONG time. They've said that he's nowhere close to the upcoming list, although idk why they'd tease him so early if he wasn't. Iirc, they said he wouldn't be out till MAYBE late Season 5.

I think he needs buffs, but it hasn't been a week yet, and Riot has a tendency to overbuff right after release.

The Q stuff is just QOL, but the R buffs are premature. Better to wait a few weeks before making any changes to a newly released champ. And yes, I realize these changes are just PBE and would be several weeks away anyways.

I don't understand why Gnar's Boomerang has a smaller hitbox when it's going out than coming back in.That's just silly, Sivir's boomerang doesn't change sizes for it's hit box when it's coming back, Ahri's Orb doesn't change sizes, no other skill shot like that changes sizes when it's coming back for the hitbox.
